I think the militia idea is a good one as it can handle a lot of the registration issues and if a member acts out they share the liability.

Sheriff Warns of Second American Revolution if Guns Are Banned (VIDEO)

How about one of you Lefties answer my question?
What part of, "Shall not be infringed" don't you understand??

What part of incorporation do you not understand?

Heller discusses regulation does it not? The 2nd Amendment was fully incorporated with McDonald v Chicago in 2010. It's a non-issue and serves no purpose except to manipulate emotions.

Citizens ARE the well regulated militia.

Exactly - that's precisely why Officers are officers for life. They can be called into service at the pleasure of the Governors of their states. They seldom ever are, but it's always a possibility. That's why, when it came to me - I chose Warrant Officer over a commission. Although, I still carry the title of "Chief" I am under no obligation to serve anywhere. I did my time - all 22 years of it.

In order for a "militia" to be formed, (rather than the National Guard - who is the FIRST militia of any state) , the Governor (or even the President) would have to call Officers to serve and they would gather their own forces from the population. That's the way it worked during the Revolutionary War and it's been the standard ever since.

So, basically, if the Active military ever got wiped out, and the National Guard was decimated, look to be called into service as the "Citizen Militia". Good Lord - what a thought.

Yeah, man. Perish the thought.

Look what the British Army did do the colonists.............oh wait .......the colonists won. So STFU.

Which would indicate you and the sheriff are equally ignorant of the law.

The sheriff, his jurisdiction, and his state of residence are all subordinate to the Federal Constitution, Federal laws, and the rulings of Federal courts (Cooper v. Aaron (1958)).

Because the Federal Constitution and its case law are supreme, the sheriff will be compelled to abide by all Federal laws, including laws regulating firearms.

And the actual question is, what part of “[l]ike most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose..” D.C. v. Heller) do you and other ignorant rightists not understand?

 

[O.R.I.O.N]

Try and arrest him.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Guns are not even remotely close to being banned.

Guns are so closely "regulated" in some jurisdictions which tantamounts to banning...

Ignorant, hyperbolic nonsense.

Look here fool. If the Army is gone and the National Guard is gone - what the HELL do YOU expect to do against tanks and artillery pieces that can kill you from a mile away? Grow up you clown.

Stop being a dumbass.

 

[The2ndAmendment]

No one's gonna take up arms and revolt if gun rights are curtailed

Whose going to stop them? The patriotic men in the federal military? The honest souls in the National Guards of the Several States? The local sheriffs of the land?

There would barely be an exchange of gunfire. The military/guard/local police have become so distraught with this government (on all levels) that they would standby and preserve the peace while we exiled or hung every do-nothing politician from the gallows.

 

[Gadawg73]

Guns are not even remotely close to being banned.

So you admit that one day they will but we are "not even remotely close" to that now.
Thanks for that admission that at some time in the future anti gun supporters will ban guns.
They will try to but will fail.
Starting now we will give them no ground.

The Afgans have done a rather supberb job, and they dont' even have 300,000,000 modern firearms, modern communications technology --- oh, and I didn't mention that there "ammunition" is less-than-home-made quality shit?

Stop being a dumbass.

An American revolt would be unstoppable. Even if the Government "won every battle," they'd still lose the war, since petroleum and other vital supplies would be immediately pirated/hijacked/destroyed and the US dollar and Wall Street would crash with it. This of course, is assuming that the US military would even fire on its own citizens for more than 7-14 days (in reality, defection and desertion and insider espionage would decimate the military after that 7-14 [max 30] day scenario).

Stop being a dumbass.

An armed revolt would be demolished in a few days. They have no command structure or mobility. Air power?
How many battleships do the militias have?
How many fighter squadrons?
How many Blackhawk helicopters?
How many special ops teams?
How many tank battalions?

COME ON MAN!

18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

I have always found the above fascinating because the media outlets that kick out fear propaganda on the 2nd Amendment never seem to actually pay that price. They move in and out very carefully.

Nonsense.

Guns will never be ‘banned.’

And there is no ‘they’ trying to ‘ban’ guns.

If an appropriate, common-sense measure such as Manchin-Toomey can’t make it to the president’s desk, a measure ‘banning’ guns certainly can’t – not in the near future, not ever.

 

[9thIDdoc]

The Sheriff is 100% correct. And that same message is, and has been, being stated from all over the country for some time now. I could walk for miles in any direction and not find an honest opinion that was very different. Anyone determined to disbelieve is a fool and will probably not be a loss to the gene pool anyway.
Trying to split hairs over what actually constitutes "confiscation" won't fly. What has been threatened in Con. will not be tolerated by the American citizen, nor should it be.

 

[Disir]

Ponch McPhee called for an armed revolution in a column printed in the Greene Co., Va. GOP newsletter if Obama was reelected. Larry Klayman calls to overthrow the government in an armed revolution (the time might be right he says) in January of 2013. Target of Opportunity keeps a list on their website and links to websites that help you out.


The Koch brothers fund the Tea Party and someone shows up with a sign that says: this time we came unarmed. Sharon Angle and Sarah Palin utilized this same tactic. Tea Party.org maintains articles of those calling for it.

My personal favorite was the whole guillotine-French Revolution thing. Yep. That was a war between two houses. Thomas Jefferson was all in favor of revolutions until that went down. Look it up.

Do you think ANY of the above individuals will be on the front lines leading the way? How about their children? How about people like Alex Jones?

You are attack dogs kept on a leash and you do what your told or you are completely aware and are knowingly, willingly, and consciously using others to do the dirty work. The goal posts change and the ultimatums continue. You have no idea who is a liberal, a socialist or a Democrat or a leftist. No comprehension of neoliberalism. That's convenient. As long as you are kept foaming at the mouth then it's all good. Someone will point out whom to shoot and you will oblige.

When all of this started, I was afraid. I admit that. Then I realized that is what you crave. So, a few years ago I altered my stance. I had to. You see, I have a boy-child to raise. It's all about what kind of world that you want to live in.

No more ultimatums. No more BS intimidation. No more Goebbels dehumanization tactics.

Put your money where your mouth is and bring it.

 

[American4Americ]

No one's gonna take up arms and revolt if gun rights are curtailed. At the end of the day they'll just get drunk, bitch and moan, then fall asleep.

Agreed. There was a time in America where such a thing may have been possible, but certainly not anymore.

Not even... look at the 1870-1890s (Or 1836-1840), or the rights curtailed under Wilson, Truman, and Bush.

Heck, Shay even tried it under President Washington, and that rebellion was crushed.

 

[9thIDdoc]

Wow. It didn't happen yesterday so it can't possibly happen tomorrow. Brilliant. A balloon never pops. Until it does.

You're assuming the military will disobey their oath in defending the Constitution. They won't.
